From the image. This is the easiest way to install r2cloud on Raspberry PI. It will require brand new SD card:
- Download the latest official image
- Insert SD card into the card reader and flash it. You could use Etcher to do this
- Insert SD card into the card reader and create file
r2cloud.txt
in the root directory. This file should contain any random string. This string is a login token. This token will be used during initial setup.
-
Or from repository binaries:

r2cloud.txt
file in /boot directory. This file should contain any random string. This string is a login token. This token will be used during initial setup. - Execute the following commands:
- Login via SSH and create
sudo apt-get install dirmngr lsb-release
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A5A70917
sudo bash -c "echo 'deb http://apt.leosatdata.com $(lsb_release --codename --short) main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/r2cloud.list"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r2cloud
